Taken from "man rc.boot":

[snip]
       The /etc/rc.boot directory is obsolete. It has been super­
       seded by the /etc/rcS.d directory. At boot time, first the
       /etc/rcS.d directory is scanned and  then,  for  backwards
       compatibility, the /etc/rc.boot directory.

I suggest you place your scripts in /etc/init.d/ and run update-rc.d 
to create the appropriate links.

How do I properly print out the contents of a manpage?
When I do ":r! man blabla" in vi, I get funny characters at some places.

Using man's --ascii option didn't help.
